Crossover Christian pop-punk crew Relient K released a new album, Forget And Not Slow Down, on Oct. 6, and the new album comes with a new business arrangement. Having completed their deal with local Christian music label Gotee Records, Relient K have revived the retired Mono Vs. Stereo label, and they'll share the new set through Mono Vs. Stereo in conjunction with major label Jive Records.

The band did some of the Forget recording in Franklin, though much of the songwriting went down during singer Matt Thiessen’s months-long retreat in Winchester, Tenn. (a two-hour drive or so southeast of Nashville). The solitary creative confinement, Thiessen said in a statement, had a bit of a spiritual bent.

“Songwriting and praying are kind of synonymous for me,” he said. “You’re using your heart, you’re using your brain, you’re collecting your thoughts, inner emotions, and putting them all together, and you’re saying, ‘Where does this all fit into my life?’”

The band continues its “Three Hour Tour” in support of the album (always good with the puns, those folks), making a Nashville stop at all-ages venue Rocketown (401 Sixth Ave. S., 843-4000) on Sun., Oct. 11.
